Garissa University compensation case
At the constitutional court, a case in which a lobby sued the government for compensation on behalf of 28 parents who lost their children in the 2015 Garissa University terror attack in which 148 people died will be proceeding today.

The hearing will be heard by a three-judge bench presided over by Justice Anthony Ndungu.
Kituo cha Sheria filed the case on behalf of the victims blaming the government for negligence by not taking appropriate measures to enhance national security for its citizens.
The petitioners claim the government ignored several useful intelligence pointers on impeding terrorist attacks targeting learning institutions in Garissa.
The parents said that even when the security officers were flown to the university, there was no clear command structure such as who was in charge of operations, leading to the long siege, hence the loss of lives.
They further blame the government for failure to supply the police with appropriate equipment like night vision and telescopic sights kits, armoured personnel carriers and bullet-proof vests.
The hostels were built in a manner that did not aid the escape of the students, the parents said.
Each of the hostel cubicles was occupied by six students The dorm had two escape routes. The windows were grilled and the construction taking place adjacent to the hostel made it extremely difficult for students to escape, they said.
A student survivor swore an affidavit in support of the compensation case.
Stephen Mwangi narrated how while hiding in a wardrobe with other students, he saw his sister being rounded up alongside others by the terrorists. He informed his mother with whom was talking by phone.
“At the time my sister, Joyce was rounded up I could see all the events and informed my mother that I had seen my sister among those rounded up which conversation was by phone in low tones,” the student said in his affidavit.
